Weeping shall never become a thing of past,
        I feel this heartache will always feel free to last.
When I can no longer stand the pain of loss's fear,
   I shall become nothing but a lonely woman here.
I know I need redemption and I know I need it fast,
        but these memories of my sweet boy bring a crimson tear.

        He was but an innocent child when he suddenly died,
I laid there on my cold bed and continually cried.
No more reasons to live as my heart also stopped beating,
            and these moods of depression keep repeating.
I just couldn't cope no matter how hard I tried,
   this pain is so intense, so unbearably defeating.

I held my dead baby boy to my beating heart,
        until at last this mother and child had to part.
I laid him in his eternal coffin bed,
   standing like a stone through his funeral and words said.
At his grave I sang for my little sweetheart,
        and on his coffin I laid bright roses red.

        In the days and months that passed I was hollow,
a shadow of me and food I could not swallow.
            I went deep and inner and I let no love inside,
I remained unresponsive no matter who tried.
   Often, wandering a path to his grave, I do follow- 
                  Will the day come that I can put this death aside.

You must have been crying all time you were writing this. I don't know how you did it, but it is a way out of that intense grief, I hope. So bitterly beautiful.
